Nigel Farage has accused the British Government of trying to thwart a mission to send aid to Chagos Islanders.

A court upholds a challenge about the lawfulness of the orders to remove four men who travelled to the territory.

Four Chagos islanders have landed on one of the Indian Ocean archipelago's atolls to establish what they say will be a permanent settlement, a move they hope will complicate a British plan to transfer the territory to Mauritius.

The Chagos Islanders who returned to their homeland have won a legal battle against eviction orders issued by Sir Keir Starmer’s Government.

And referring to ongoing US-Iran talks on Tehran's controversial nuclear programme, Trump said: "Should Iran decide not to make a Deal, it may be necessary for the United States to use Diego Garcia and the airfield located in Fairford in order to eradicate a potential attack by a highly unstable and dangerous Regime."

US President Donald Trump has, in a U-turn, withdrawn US support for British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s deal to hand the Chagos Islands ove.

President Trump has launched an extraordinary attack on Labour’s Chagos Islands deal, just hours after the US Government gave its official backing. In a Truth Social post, Mr Trump said Sir Keir Starmer is making an “extraordinary mistake” by entering a 99-year lease over the archipelago's military base.
